Since this paper went to press, specimens of all the species, both 

 new and old, with the exception of C. inerme, S. villosa, spectralis, 

 /i/iji'0-braccata and cultrata, nn. spp., were submitted to Professor 

 K. Kraepelin, who kindly compared them with his own and Koch's 

 types. I am wholly indebted to him for the identification of H. 

 lanatus (Koch), S. lethalis, Sindfusca, Koch. 



All specimens mentioned in this paper are preserved in spirits,
